Located where the Mekong River meets the East Sea, Ben Tre is a peaceful land where water, greenery, and daily life blend in harmony. Known as “the land of coconuts,” Ben Tre welcomes travelers with its fresh air, gentle calm, and quiet energy.
Along the small canals, rows of coconut palms reflect on the water, and green islands formed by the Mekong create a gentle, natural landscape. A short boat ride under the shade of palm leaves lets you listen to the wind, watch local life along the river, and enjoy the easy rhythm of the countryside.
Visitors can see how coconut candy is made, watch locals turn coconut shells and leaves into everyday crafts, or taste tropical fruits in family gardens. When traditional Đờn Ca Tài Tử music — recognized by UNESCO — plays in the background, you can truly feel the local culture of the Mekong Delta.
The food in Ben Tre is simple but full of flavor, reflecting the lifestyle of Southern Vietnam. Most of all, it’s the friendliness of the people that makes the experience memorable.
A trip to Ben Tre is a chance to enjoy nature, meet kind people, and discover the quiet beauty of life in the Mekong Delta.
